Re: [NYCPugMeetupGroup] Another question

My soon to be 7 year old puggie has had all the shots the vet recommends, including Parvovirus, and has never had a negative reaction to any of them. We live in Edison, NJ, where there are deer, possum, skunk, chipmunks, and fox, just to name a few, that roam our backyard and neighborhood. Dakota mingles with other dogs on the street, in Petco/Petsmart, and when she "vacations" at the dog sitter, so I feel that being vaccinated is the way to go. Of course we stay at the vet's office afterwards to make sure there's no reaction, and so far so good. If you have confidence in your vet, talk it over with him/her. You can read up on the subject so you'll be able to have a knowledgable conversation, then weigh the pros and cons.
You're probably more confused now... Best bet is to talk it over with your vet. And if you're still not clear there's always a second opinion...
Good luck

The breeder says heck no and doesn't want the pug to get it and the vet says its probably a good idea because of living in the city. Anyone have any advice on what to do? Vaccine or not? I heard the side effects in pugs are serious.
